1 Écoutez, mes fils, l’instruction d’un père, Et soyez attentifs, pour connaître la sagesse;
2 Car je vous donne de bons conseils: Ne rejetez pas mon enseignement.
3 J’étais un fils pour mon père, Un fils tendre et unique auprès de ma mère.
4 Il m’instruisait alors, et il me disait: Que ton cœur retienne mes paroles; Observe mes préceptes, et tu vivras.
5 Acquiers la sagesse, acquiers l’intelligence; N’oublie pas les paroles de ma bouche, et ne t’en détourne pas.
